| BACKSTAGE GREAT ORAMA OF THEATER Lyceam Presents Stirring Tale of Chorus Girls Sunday Night — A living, breathing, colorful hu- man story of four chorus “janes’, their life and loves, is the Tiffany production “Backstage” which opens a four days' run at the Ly- ceum tomorrow night on the sams bill with “The Man From Hardpan”, featuring Leo Maloney, the latest western hero of the screen. “Backstage” is presented by an exceptional cast, including William Collier Jr., Barbara Bedford, Al- Lerta Vaughn, Eileen Percy, Shirley O'Hara, Gayne Whitman, Jimmy Harrison and other well known screen stars. The story interestingly tells of the struggles of four chorus girls who are forever broke and one of the quartet who looks to reach the top rung of the ladder of theatrical suc- cess. The appearance on the scene of a man who will advance these ambitions complicates her love af- fair with a young man who is her sweetheart and who urges her to marry him and leave the stage. Tn “The Man From Hardpan”, the story gets away to a fast start when a voung cowboy finds that another man has usurped his name and is cheating the girl he loved. Neither jail, guns nor the power of the law could halt this man from Hardpan when he started out to make things right. The news veels showing latest world events of interest and a spe- cially sclected comedy round out the program.

BROTHERS PLAYING ON MAJOR TEAMS Eight Pairs Boasting Same Fam- ily Doing Very Well in Leagues _ BY BILLY EVANS s acts in major league base- ng to be quite the Eight family trees are represented in the big show by pairs of brothers and most of them are doing mighty well, thank you. The unu: 1 success Waner boys have had with Pitts- burgh has called attention tq the tact that seven other pairs of broth- crs are doing business under the big tent. 1 ast year Pittsburgh secured Paul Waner from the Coast League and he immediately developed into a star. As a matter of fact, no one ayer contributed more to the suc- cess the Pirates attalned last year thare Paul Waner, Ilis timely batting—he hit .336 in his first year— a potent factor in keeping Pittsburgh in the run- ning. In the field he performed as brilliantly. While Paul was shining “in the majors, brother Lloyd, the property of the Pittshurgh club, was going great guns in the South Atlantic League. He finished with a marks of 346 at the hat, This spring Manager Donie Bush sed the experts by giving the two Waner boys positions in the Pittsburgh outfield. It is one of the few instan in baseball where brothers have played the outfield for the same team. When Mavager Bob O'Farrell signed Catcher Bob Schang as of his backstop assistants it gave two brothers big league jobs in the same city but on different teams. Wallie Schang is one of the main- stays of the Browns back of the bat, having come there in a trade with New York Wallie Schang first_attracted at- tention back in 1912 while with the Buffalo club of the old Eastern League, now known as the Interna- ‘ional.

It is a rather unusual fact that in most cases the brothers star at the same position. The Schang brothers are catchers, the Meusels and Wan- ers arc outficldes, the Barnes boys are pitchers, the Cooneys are infield- ers, Johnny also being a pretty fair pitcher; the Falk boys started as hurlers, but Bib's ability to hit caused him to be made over into an outfielder. He is now one of the best in'the game. Joe Sewell fs rated the best shortstop in the American League and Luke is one of the leading catchers. ‘MOULDERS OF MEN Conway Tearle in Featured Role Ot all the fraternal organizations so prominently identified with American life, none seems to con- ceal its charities does quite so successtully Elks.
